Abstract (en)
[origin: US2010325051A1] A method for reducing piracy in software activation may be implemented on a computer readable medium storing software instructions that execute the method, which includes steps for receiving a media identifier of a media and a device identifier from a first remote device executing the media, the device identifier being based on a combination of a user-configurable parameter and a non-user-configurable parameter of the first remote device, granting a usage license for the media to the first remote device, correlating the usage license with the media identifier and the device identifier, generating a sale metric for the media based on a number of usage license granted, determining a piracy metric of the media based on availability of illegal copies of the media, and charging a publisher of the media a fee based on the sale and piracy metrics.
